Well of course there's the obvious Metal Gear Solid...

I also think that a Ratchet and Clank movie would be pretty sweet.

Gotta agree with x434343. Hugh Laurie would make one cool Gordon. As would Edward Norton. However, other than a Half-Life film, I'd love to see Homeworld get the "movie" treatment. I always loved the back story to that one. It already had a very cinematic feel to it. In the end though, what I'd really like to see is a Doom movie. I know what you're all going to say, "There's already one". Well, that one doesn't count. Besides being one of the cheesiest films I've seen in the past few years, it wasn't even about the Doom story. Instead of a story about a portal to Hell being opened in a research station on Mars and the beasts of Hell pouring through wreaking havoc, we get a story about aliens and a "24th chromosome" that turns people into mutated, evil things. And it starred the Rock, ffs. What the hell was ID thinking when they relinquished the rights to the plot to that film studio?

I haven't read the whole thread so I don't know if anyone has mentioned Dead Rising, I know everyone thinks its too similar to dawn of the dead but I think that if they followed the same exact story as the game it would actually be pretty cool. Plus you wouldn't have had to play the game to find the movie interesting. I also agree with the whole HL idea, it'd be freakin epic... who would play eli, i keep saying morgan freeman but no...

Fatal Frame would be a SCARY friggin' movie.

lol I was surprised to see anyone else put up Fatal Frame ont their list, 'cause it'd be number one for me. I think an adaptation of any of the Fatal Frame games would be a great concept. Just playing the games alreay has a movie-like atmosphere, so I think they'd transfer well to the big screen.
I'd probably pick Fatal Frame 2 as the one I'd be most interested in as a movie, but any of them would do. Okay, I'm not sure what number 4 will be like when it comes out for the Wii, but I'm optimistic.

...Other than that, well I'd personally love a CG movie based on Kingdom Hearts, but that's just 'cause I'm hopelessly fangirlish like that. The problems with making games for RPGs is that their stories are meant to be epic and long so they don't make the transition to movies very well unless they run over 2 hours at least. The other draw back is what Advent Children experienced where it did't give enough homage to the original to please the diehard fans, and it was just too confusing for anyone who hadn't played the game to understand. 99% of RPGs should never even be considered to be made into movies.

Tetris. Starring Christopher Walken as the L-block.

Seriously though, I'm actually looking forward to Bioshock: The Movie

I'd like to see Deus Ex made if a good director was attached, you know, not Uwe Boll.

I have to say the Half Life Idea is probably the one that hits closest to home with me, but I absolutely love that Bioshock-prequel Idea Pedro, Though, a Grizzled protagonist is so cliché, I think instead, we have a tall, very skinny guy, kind of a Sherlock Holmes persona, and we could see if anyone got the reference, if anyone is literate in this god damned world =D.

Though as for that Half Life idea, Yes! Hugh Laurie, My favorite actor of all time, and I can't deny it, and him playing Gordon Freeman would be AMAZING. And by amazing, I mean AMAZING, but we would have to do a few things just to make sure, they don't ruin the damn story.

No Hollywood love interest! Gordon doesn't really show any sort of romantic involvement, so why would we team him up with someone who he loves? He doesn't have one, so Hollywood would have to realize that.

In the Classic Half Life, you remember how you had random security guards? They should keep that as a nice little story element, it shows a slight deepness, and survival instinct and such.

Game to movie? One or the other people. Haven't the film companies learned by now?

Three words people: "SUPER MARIO BROS"

I rest my case. Somewhere... I need help to find it again! :(
